I swear, in my line of work I have seen several kids being neglected and mistreated, yet as they aren't being physically harmed, social services says they won't do a damn thing. So apparently treating your kids like indviduals and letting them be theirselves is abuse, while ignoring your child for five hours while you check your facebook account and yell at them if they so much as make a noise is not.

Angel, I'm very sorry that this has happened to you and your family. It's a complete abuse of the system, a perversion of the purpose of having a monitoring body, and a slap in the face to actual victims of child abuse. I realize the school year is almost over, and I hope that the officials have faced some sort of punishment and overhaul in the months since this first happened.

(I also know this is a belated answer, but I saw you post on another blog and had to come here to comment).
